Blood clotting tests and outcomes after heart surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks back at records of people who had heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The researchers want to see if a special blood test done during surgery (which checks how well your blood clots) can predict how the patient recovers and whether they have complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have had heart surgery that required a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- You must have had a specific blood test called viscoelastic testing during your operation.

This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your blood forms clots. It aims to see if this test can predict bleeding after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, which might help doctors manage bleeding better.
This study looks at how blood cells change during heart surgery and whether these changes affect bleeding or inflammation after the operation. It may help doctors predict and manage complications in people having heart surgery.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study watches how well platelets (cells that help blood clot) work in people who have high-risk heart surgery using a heart-lung machine for more than 2 hours. The goal is to learn more about bleeding risks after surgery.
This study looks at how well platelets work during heart surgery using a special test called thromboelastography. It may help doctors understand and manage bleeding risks in people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study looks at how people do after heart or chest surgery when they test positive for COVID-19. It may help doctors understand risks and outcomes for surgical patients during the pandemic.
